Kustom Graphics

A big news that I am really proud of. You can find 6 pages of LaFlamme Art inside this new Kustom Graphics book. It's the first time I appear in such a wonderful book and it's a real honor to finally be presented aside most of my favorite artists.

Here's the book description: Many Kustom Kulture artists are now crossing over scenes, creating graphics for hot rods one day, burlesque events the next, and dreaming up flyers for a new crop of indie rock bands—all part of an explosive international graphics movement. This overview of the best artists in this subculture includes work href="from California, the Midwest, the East Coast, Mexico, Japan, the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, France, and Germany. This roundup of Ed Roth and Von Dutch-influenced artists presents a mass of work impossible to beat for sheer visual inventiveness, vibe, and color. Author Julian Balme is a writer and art director for numerous Kustom
Kulture magazines, creator of the famous London Calling cover for The Clash, a passionate racer of hot rods, and one of the foremost commentators on Kustom Kulture and Kustom Graphics.

This book is also essential inspiration for graphic designers, tattooists, print-makers and t-shirt creators - or anyone into Americana. Printed on 150 high-grade gsm paper the book looks amazing and includes silver embossed cover art by Peter Gustafsson. Fusing the impact and visual energy of Rock 'n' Roll, the speed and roar of hot rods and a healthy dose of naked chics, "Kustom Graphics" presents the work of the best international established and up-and-coming artists and designers. With over 400 unique visuals this is the perfect resource for anyone into these genres and graphic designers seeking inspiration. Bad taste never tasted this good.

256 pages of FULL COLOR Art, at an affordable price, that you'll enjoy for sure.
The book is available at many online store such as Amazon, or just google: Kustom Graphics book by Julian Balme.

Bishop

You probably noticed the Artwork on top of my website. Now it's time to unveil the secret behind this piece. Nah, there's no big secret hidden there... it was some sort of logo done for the band Bishop. A Band formed by three brothers known as Tommy, Rocky, and Vinny. Driven by a pure, genuine passion for the music they play, these three brothers craft music of complete integrity and honesty.

If you like Motörhead - Black Sabbath - The Ramones - AC/DC and all the bands that defined rock and metal in all its myriad forms, you'll realise that Bishop understands the power of these artists and is determined to resurrect the soul and sonic presence that made albums like 'Ace Of Spades' or 'Back In Black' instant classics.
